"Mr President, as far as the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance is concerned, cohesion policy is at the heart of one of the most fundamental policies of the European Union: solidarity. Europe becomes stronger whenever European solidarity is shown. This is a fundamental issue for us.
The European Commission must, in our view, integrate the following principles. Firstly, since territorial cohesion is a political priority, it should therefore also be a budgetary priority.
Secondly, the region is the appropriate level of partnership for a regional development policy. Renationalising this policy would be unacceptable for us.
Thirdly, cohesion must also be used to reduce the most serious economic and social disparities within a territory for the benefit of deprived urban areas or rural areas that are in difficulty or which receive very few services on account of structural handicaps, as is the case with islands, for example.
Lastly, the eligibility of all EU regions to benefit from cohesion policy must be judged on an individual basis, of course, according to their level of wealth, but the European Union must be able to make its contribution whenever cohesion policies are at stake."@en1
